My report isn't good . My sugars have been increasing weekly and then daily . Monday morning was 14.8 and 13 on Tuesday with high 11's the previous weeks!! And they haven't been going down that much during the day .Off to the quack and he changed my diabetes meds and I'm on one to lower the sugars . Pharmacist gave me a warning re go hypo or sugars going to low!!Hasn't happened yet been 9.8 the last 2 mornings and lowest during the day between lunch and dinner has been 6.7 (and that's not eating after lunch )!!Doing a blood test in a couple of weeks . Hoping to be back to normal by then !!

ok a bit more time I have never eaten so much celery and radishes' in my life . Been making salads for lunch and with dinner at night my god how do these model type's do it !!I do know why they do it !!!

Just got my first lot of 3 monthly blood test results since being diagnosed.

Besides losing roughly 7.5kg - I have managed a few things...Blood sugars HbA1c down from 10.6 to 6.9 Cholesterol down from 6.9 to 4.1Vitamin D up from 19 to 35 (need to get to at least 50)Liver function test better than before

Hard work is paying off - now to maintain the same diligence.

Well done MumJust be warned some doctors con you about vitamin D . I had a doctor point out why have that tested in winter no pint as everyones inside !!

A Mum wrote:Trouble with me Micky is my job is from home and entails me sitting at the computer day and night - I don't see the sun...lol. However have started making conscious efforts to get out there more.

I understand MUM. Just saying what a quack told me I really only get in the sun on the weekends finals footy has turned me brown lol!!Going for my blood test on Saturday its early and the quack expects the sugars to be up . also checking Cholesterol and my Liver .last time there was a problem with the liver heart doctor went off at me GP wasn't happy and the General Physician wasn't interested !!So they are checking again

I gave up raw sugar a long time ago , but do miss the sweet lovely taste of sugar in coffees and teas.I now substitute sugar with SteviaZero caloriesZero carbsIts a very potent sweet taste, and I like it more than sugar taste

Well was feeling off yesterday bad headache light headed but I soldiered on with my 10hr day at work !!Quack told me off this morning as I got up felt the same and called in sick!! End of story i run out of BP pills Monday and my BP was up due to the long work day I didn't see the quack !! And he was annoyed as my blood results weren't back he had to call for them and my sugars had gone up !!So he has changed the sugar lowering pills and told me to take stronger pills than pnandol for all my aches and pains lol

anyone see the David Letterman interview with Tom Hanks ? a clip of it was shown on tv this morning & in short Tom has Diabetes type 2......he joked ''you have to die of something'' then basically said he'll be fine if he did the right things etc

I didn't see that Bayman, but I did read briefly that Tom Hanks had been diagnosed.

More serious here a quack says why did u stay at work !! when you have team leaders and bosses who don't believe your not well and think your getting out of a 10 hr day !! How do you say I'm going home as Im sick ! But then my health is more important than work !!!

I put on half a kilo this last month - (Kick up the backside).Back into the exercise routine now.

The food thing is all okay for me - but the exercise thing - it's all about time management I think !

Well not sure the sugar reducing pills are working !Went off to mount gambier to see my lady and ate way to much ! I've finally learnt I cant eat lasagne my god did I get the sweats after that for dinner

12 months to the day since being diagnosed and since I started my weight loss journey. I have lost 10.5kgs in that time. Not as much as I would have hoped, but my own fault given I did go through a slack off period for a while!! ... but happy with what I've lost.

Well done Mummy journey has got rather bumpy ! After 6 to 9 months of telling the doctors at the large medical centre I was attending there was issues with my sugars . It gets complicated here I had two issues one was with my diabetes one wasn't . Two separate doctors ordered tests the next two quacks tore strips off me for their colleagues actions . Thought not going back then I get a letter saying they need to see me with all my medications and review my diabetes .So I have swapped to a smaller surgery and will see one doctor . Friday I'm having another fasting blood test to test everything and she will review my meds in two weeks with a detailed record of my sugar levels !!The large surgery is fine if I want a sick cert its around the corner from my work on old port rd . I wont be going back tired of the bad attitudes from doctors and receptionists!!
